Red Rock Resort

The signs for Red Rock Casino label it as Red Rock Resort. Which I suppose it is, but it's location in Summerlin makes it somewhat more utilised as a locals casino than a resort hotel. In fact, it looked like the hotel wasn't quite finished yet when we went.

The feel of this place is a bit wierd and the vibe is somewhat mixed. The decor puts i somewhere between in-yer-face and over-the-top. It's feels intensely modern and cool, to appeal to a young locals crowd. But it's also seems to be trying to compete with the Bellagio or Wynn for elegance. There are some quite horribly excessive chandelier structures over part of the casino, and then you move through to a new section and they're all gone. So the kids get to gamble over here, whilst the rich folk have this part to feel at home in...

Didn't stay long, given that one of the reasons for visiting was because it had a cinema, but Superman Returns wasn't showing and however good Snakes on a Plane might be, it's title doesn't do make it sound like making any effort to watch. Claire said there's a reason Speed wasn't called "Bomb on a Bus", and I tend to agree.
